D-MARKET Names 2 CEOs to Sharpen Execution After Kaspi.kz's $1.12 Billion Stake Buy

1 articles · Updated · Simply Wall St · Jul 4

Summary

  • Ender Özgün has taken over as D-MARKET CEO, while logistics veteran Hakan Karadogan was named CEO of Hepsiburada’s Delivery unit in a split leadership structure reporting to Chairman Mikheil Lomtadze and the board.
  • The dual-CEO setup is meant to tighten execution across marketplace operations, payments and logistics as Kaspi.kz integrates the Turkish e-commerce group after buying a 66.35% stake for about $1.12 billion.
  • Management changes do not alter D-MARKET’s near-term investment case, which still hinges on improving logistics and payments integration while containing margin pressure and cash burn.
  • Analyst projections cited in the report point to TRY223.5 billion in revenue and TRY18.1 billion in earnings by 2029, but the company would need 36% annual revenue growth and a swing from a TRY6.2 billion loss.
